Heh… good one.

I’m not sure I like the term “science fiction” and I tend to not use it when describing movies, unless other people insist on using the term.

Agree that a great deal of entertainment, serious work, fall under “morality play”. Most of entertainment to me appears to be “escapist”, but some, the meaty stuff, are morality plays.

Other than the really big tent categories (drama vs. comedy, fiction vs. non-fiction, etc.) I tend to try and not pigeon-hole a movie (or TV show.) E.g., T5E was fiction, it was also a fantasy, a comedy (in part), and a morality play. It was well done in that a variety of audiences could get something out of it - the escapist could just enjoy the visual treat, while the more studious could appreciate the moral statements.

You’re really Obama, aren’t you?
